Small Sticks

Waikato Hockey Association, in conjunction with Hockey NZ, are able to provide in-school Hockey Programme, Small Sticks.

The Small Sticks programme is a school-based programme accessible for all New Zealand children, aged 4-13, which introduces children to the sport of Hockey at the level commensurate with their ability.

Waikato Hockey Association will provide an accredited coach to take a minimum of four x 30-minute sessions each year for 3 years. It is a progressive programme so the children will learn new skills and enjoy different games each year. All children from your school can participate in this programme, you can also specify a specific group of children if this suits your school better.

The accredited coach will:

      • Have undertaken a Small Sticks training course
      • Have a current Police Check
      • Have a current First Aid
      • Have signed a code of ethics

To ensure that hockey is sustainable in your school, a school resource kit will be supplied to your school at the start of the programme (in year one only) which will remain the property of the school.
